Las Vegas (Bootleg Canyon) Flightline / Zipline tour

YouTube May 24, 2013

Episode Description

This is a must for anyone that is looking for a little adventure while visiting Vegas. Especially good during the winter, when weather permits as most of the pools are closed and this is a great activity to fill the day.

Instead of a small harness, like most ziplines, you sit in a para-sailing harness. The result is the ability to go a lot faster than your typical zipline, probably the reason these are more commonly called flightlines.

A MUST HAVE FOR THIS TRIP, pick up your own GoPro and do not rent theirs. For silky smooth buttery stable videos, even more stable than this one I highly RECOMMEND the GoPro Hero 7. I was blown away by the stabilization and quality. Here's a link to the one I am talking about:

Also, make sure you have a good CHEST harness. Amazon has some great deals on accessories, save the money, there is literally no disadvantage to going with aftermarket for GoPro accessories. You can find one here:

Last, I ran out of space and battery. Be sure to grab an extra memory card and battery for the journey (side note, always go with official GoPro battery if you can. Aftermarket battery destroying your camera may not be covered in the warranty):

Soar over Bootleg Canyon Mountain Bike Park at a near 65 mph. 4 lines total with the highest line being 275 feet off the Nevada desert. A lot of fun!

This is the official and original footage provided for the show "Sin City ER" for the recreation of an accident involving one of the flightline employees. It's an incredible story and amazing that the man survived.
